Abundance - III
EMOTIONAL CLEANSING
In this new year that has begun (2020), as well as in every beginning of the cycle, we have renewed hope and the feeling that something good and original can be accomplished. “Perhaps now we will be able to start such a regime, or find the great love of our life, or we will even be able to see our professional career take off.” Maybe this, maybe that... Who knows, eventually the prosperity and abundance we aspire to find its way to us... But isn't it we who will have to walk towards it?
Abundance is flow, and the path to it is to be in your positive flow, as discussed recently in Abundance II. Something that should be considered at the beginning of this journey – from a new life cycle towards more joy, abundance and lightness accomplishments – is to forgive.
When we carry many hurts, grudges, hatreds and desires for revenge, we end up becoming bitter, negative, anxious people, we live in an emotional turmoil and in restlessness, which prevents us from having clarity about decisions and situations in life. In this state, too, we can be taken by anguish and depression, entering the flow of negative abundance, where it will seem that everything bad happens and ends up attracting even worse things.
It is difficult to be able to experience joys, hope, feelings of love and lightness when you keep hurts and grudges, it can be said that it is practically impossible. That's why an Emotional cleansing is necessary at the beginning of a new life cycle. This cleansing involves forgiving, releasing, accepting, and giving thanks.
Most people who cannot forgive are looking for external reasons, such as in the behavior of the other, in order to forgive them. There lies a misconception, the motivation must always be internal, personal. A good motivation to forgive is to free yourself from the poison that erodes your peace of mind, that keeps you from experiencing happiness and love, that keeps you from being in the flow of life's positive abundance.
Research done by Dr. Fred Luskin prove that people who do not forgive develop more heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and immune system disorders than those who practice this "act". It still argues that people who are more willing to forgive tend to live on average 9 years longer than those who carry anger and sorrow. This in itself is a great reason to forgive! Is not it? Increase the lifespan, on top of that with more quality and emotional lightness! However, few know that forgiving takes time and determination, forgiving is not magic, it is a process. It also involves reconnecting with the beauty of life and with love, humbly accepting frustrations, losses, disappointments, violence, etc.
We must, rather, face pain with courage, to transform it, transcend it. But accepting our human condition, also fallible and sensitive, will help in the process of forgiveness, because we are all, all of us, are imperfect and make mistakes, handcuffing yourself to the mistake made by another against us, out of anger, is to remain in pain indefinitely. , which is self-destructive. Many think that not forgiving is like revenge, a way of punishing the one who made a mistake, this is a tremendous waste of time and quality of life, after all, the only one truly punished with the hate you feel is whoever creates and maintains it, simply because your biochemical body starts to live the chemistry of hate, releasing hormones for this, tensing muscles... that is, the most harmed is the one who feels the hurt.
Some don't forgive because they feel it's the only way to stay connected to the one they loved and hurt. And that's why you can't let go of your grudge. Indeed, anger unites creatures, but unfortunately, in a very harmful way. Accepting that the relationship has changed and that maybe in this life there are no ways to stay close, and thus, devoting the love you felt for the other to yourself and to your personal projects, can be much better and healthier.
I can quote here a brief exercise that can help you who want to start a new cycle on this path of greater abundance through forgiveness:
Sit comfortably and relax by releasing your jaw and abdomen.
Breathe only through your nose, naturally, 4 times.
Place your focus on your heart and breathe, maintaining focus, only through your nose 4 more times.
Search your memory for one where you felt loving, happy, safe, confident.
Bring that memory into your chest and breathe only through your nose, until you feel that memory has taken your whole heart.
If you can't remember anything, keep your heart as neutral as possible and keep breathing through your nose.
You must then take your hand to your heart and mentally repeat the following sentence: I am safe, I am at peace, I am happy, I am healthy, I am love.
Repeat this sentence directing it now to someone you love very much: You are safe, you are at peace, you are happy, you are healthy, you are love.
Repeat the sentence above directing it to someone for whom you neither have a great love nor a great hurt.
Finally, repeat the phrase to someone you have a grudge against.
At the end, thank yourself, breathe deeply only through your nose and end the exercise, this is a kind of meditation. In the future, we will be putting more exercises and rituals here, on our Blog, to obtain this, forgiveness. Remember, the positive flow of abundance is also a choice, to focus on the positive part of life, and leave what you can't control, behind, overcoming, forgiving and moving on with great love, especially for yourself. )!
Deep Peace!
